BARULAB Cooling Pro UV Protection Outdoor Golf Sun Patch
Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Dipotassium glycyrrhizate + 4 moreWorks
“Golf sun patch is infused with cactus and collagen extracts to provide hydrating and soothing benefits.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": dipotassium glycyrrhizate, glycerin.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Tartaric acidMay help
This product contains antioxidants (tartaric acid) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.
